Pros and Cons and My Experience (Score 1)

I actually did this conversion on about the same size if not a little bigger. The issue that I found is actually adaptability not functionality. We provided training to the users and showed them the differences between the MS and OO. After being pushed out it lasted for about 5 months and then everyone moved back to MS. And it was only transitioned back because people where un-willing to change. So if you are going to do this make sure that you invest a lot of time in actually "selling" OO to the internal staff. Hint: Set the default Save as to MS in each OO program, should resolve a lot of issues. Pros (besides price) -easier for users to understand over MS07. (if that is what you would move to in the future do to the fact that no one can get used to those darn "ribbons". -not as system heavy -very nice product to product integration across various pieces of OO -Series dumbs open nicely Cons -Users rebel as new looks, even if it is better. -some graphical transitions from MS to OO go wacky (ex powerpoints) -No training material available on the web that I know of (although i haven't searched in a while) I think that OO is the superior product. I was even able to open Ami pro docs in it! Good luck to you!
